CNN Poll: Democratic Party’s favorability drops to a record low By HatetheSwamp March 16, 2025 8:29 am Category: Politics (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post Write A New Article How To Post Here

Bad news for the Swamp, but especially for Dems.

With many in the party saying publicly that their leaders should do more to stand up to President Donald Trump, Democrats and Democratic-aligned independents say, 57% to 42%, that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda, rather than working with the GOP majority to get some Democratic ideas into legislation.

Democratic-aligned adults say, 52% to 48%, that the leadership of the Democratic Party is currently taking the party in the wrong direction. That’s another shift from eight years ago, when views on this metric were largely positive.

Among the American public overall, the Democratic Party’s favorability rating stands at just 29% – a record low in CNN’s polling dating back to 1992 and a drop of 20 points since January 2021, when Trump exited his first term under the shadow of the January 6 attack at on Capitol. The Republican Party’s rating currently stands at 36%.

Just 63% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents report a favorable view of their own party, a dip from 72% in January and 81% at the start of President Joe Biden’s administration. The decline comes across ideological wings, with favorability ratings for the Democratic Party falling by 18 points among liberals and moderates alike since the start of 2021.

By contrast, 79% of Republicans and Republican leaners currently take a positive view of the GOP. Political independents as a group take dim views of both parties, with 19% rating the Democrats favorably and 20% saying the same of the Republicans.

Democrats, who overwhelmingly consider Trump too extreme, have yet to consolidate around any one-party leader to serve as a counterpoint.

And while the party leadership earns positive reviews from most Democratic-aligned women (57% of whom say they’re taking Democrats in the right direction), people of color (57%) and those without college degrees (60%), just 38% of men and 32% of White college graduates say the same.

by oldedude on March 16, 2025 9:43 am This is what the libs on this site didn't understand. I don't like trumpster, but pedojoe is abysmal and I would never vote for him at all. So it's the lessor of the two weevils. I guess many folks started thinking about that. caught on throughout the US. Yes, trumpster's ratings may go up and down, but the rest of those voters have only approx 50% of those voters will vote for the dims. So trumpster would have to fall to less than 30% approval, or folks that will vote for him. The other thing is the libs are doing stupid things. Waters is a prime eample. You've already lied about trumpster so much, they're not believed in whatever they say (except for those little nazis that tote the packs for Kristallnacht). And every time the dims forget the working class, the workers, and the people they "used" to champion (well, it was a quick handjob before every election). Many of the Blacks (especially) and Latinos realized the dims just consider them too stupid to think for themselves. I'm not sure the dims realize that's an insult. The ones that are really "upset" are the small business owners, who got totally screwed by the pedojoe administration. Some of the Asian small business owners (non-Trans-National-Gang owned) are huge trump supporters. These are the people curt maintains is all of those coming into the country(we differ on that point), but these folks came her to start a small business, the Gen 0, may not have anything much. Their sole purpose in life is to make the following generations of their family not to have to do the same thing. by HatetheSwamp on March 16, 2025 10:37 am Well articulated, OD. And, our SS SwampDems want Dems to double down on elitism. Baha! by oldedude on March 17, 2025 7:11 am And now, the NEWEST Polls! March 16, 2025Democratic Party's favorability hits record lows in two polls after 2024 losses An NBC News poll found 27% of registered voters say they view the party favorably − the lowest favorability rating for Democrats in NBC polls going back to 1990. Only 7% of survey respondents said they said they have a "very positive" view of the party. Another poll released by CNN similarly found 29% of voters view Democrats in a positive light, a low in CNN's polling since 1992. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 63% said they have a favorable view of the party. Democratic Party hits new polling low, while its voters want to fight Trump harder Unlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll. usatoday.com nbcnews.com by meagain on March 17, 2025 7:42 am I wonder what the relative figures will be after a couple of months of government that cannot function after Musk'a chainsaw and Trump's Economic recession. by HatetheSwamp on March 17, 2025 8:03 am meagain, Keep a good thought. by oldedude on March 17, 2025 10:58 am meagain- don't know. That's why I've been critical of the way this has been done. We'll see. To me, they opened up the Hoover dam to fix a sink. by Donna on March 23, 2025 2:26 pm Democratic lawmakers in D.C. are losing popularity with Democratic voters because they don't think their representatives are fighting hard enough against the regime. You can see that sentiment reflected in the numbers of people who've been turning out for Bernie & AOC's "Fighting Oligarchy's" tour - 34,000 in Denver and 23,000 in Tucson. They've drawn overflow crowds at every venue. If you haven't already noticed, Trump has been underwater in his approval rating at realclearpolling for a couple of weeks now, and recent Fox News polls have him underwater in double-digits on the economy and inflation. Those trends will continue, as Trump sinks deeper into insanity. It's personally rewarding for Sheri and I to be taking an active roll in the regime's collapse. by Donna on March 23, 2025 2:41 pm From a recent Fox News Poll: Economy approve: 46 disapprove: 53 Inlation approve: 40 disapprove: 58 m.economictimes.com by HatetheSwamp on March 23, 2025 3:05 pm "sinks deeper into insanity." by Donna on March 23, 2025 3:08 pm We're only two months into Trump's disastrous second term, and already it feels like campaign season. I've never seen or been a part of anything like this! Bernie explains in his own words why they're drawing such humongous crowds: "We just finished up a truly remarkable few days on the road. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and I held five rallies in three states in three days. And the response was incredible. North Las Vegas, Nevada We began in Las Vegas on Thursday where we were joined by Congressman Steve Horsford — a former member of the Culinary Workers Union and past Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. The last time Donald Trump was in Las Vegas, in January of this year, 2,000 people came out to his event. 3,200 people joined ours. It was the largest event I have ever held in the city. Tempe, Arizona And then it was on to Tempe, Arizona. And that was pretty crazy. The largest rally turnout we have ever had in the Tempe-Phoenix area was 11,300 in 2015 when I was running for president. This weekend, in a non-campaign event, 15,000 Arizonans turned out. Not only was the arena filled to capacity — many thousands waited outside in the parking lot. Remarkable. Greeley, Colorado On Thursday we began the day in Greeley, Colorado. Greeley is a small city with a population of 108,000. Well, 11,300 of those Coloradans joined our event. There were more people in the overflow area outside, nearly 6,000, than we could fit into the gym. Denver, Colorado>/b> And then it was on to Denver. Total insanity. When you run for President you hold a lot of rallies. And I have. But I’ve never held a rally like this - ever. At Denver we were joined by great musicians and speakers from the trade union movement. And 34,000 people turned out. 34,000 people! This is, by far, the largest rally that I have ever held anywhere. And, by the way, it is a larger number than Trump ever had in Denver. Tucson, Arizona On Saturday morning we had our last rally - in Tucson, Arizona. We were joined by Congressman Greg Casar from Texas -- the Chair of the House Progressive Caucus. It was a warm, beautiful day. We were planning on 8,000 to 10,000 people attending. We were wrong. Over 23,000 showed up at the high school football stadium. So. What do these huge turnouts tell us? I think the answer is pretty clear. The American people do not want Trumpism. They do not want oligarchy. They do not want authoritarianism. They are tired of massive income and wealth inequality and the greed of the billionaire class. They are tired of a corrupt political system that allows billionaires in both parties to buy elections and leaves working people behind. All across this country Americans are prepared to take on the forces that control our economic and political lives. They are prepared to fight back. They want a government and an economy that works for all, not just the 1%. And they understand that the Democratic Party isn’t going to save us. This fight is up to all of us at the grassroots level. What history has always told us is that real change only occurs when ordinary people stand up against oppression and injustice. That is the history of the founding of our nation when brave men and women took on the mighty British empire. It is the history of the abolitionist movement, the labor movement, the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the environmental movement and the gay rights movement. Yes, the oligarchs ARE enormously powerful. They have endless amounts of money. They control our economy. They own much of the media. They have enormous influence over our political system. But, from the bottom of my heart, I am convinced that they can be beaten. But it won’t be easy. Our job in the days, weeks and months ahead is to energize and organize. We need to hold meetings and rallies in all 50 states, and then do it again and again and again. And when those rallies are over, we need to organize the people who attend to mobilize in their communities and fight back in every way we can. We need progressives to run for office at all levels. I am talking about school boards, city councils, state legislatures and the races that are not in the news but make a tremendous difference in local communities. I’m talking about races for governor, U.S. House and U.S. Senate. But it’s not just running for office. At a time when many of our people feel lonely and isolated, we need to build community and bring people together. In the deepest sense we need to care for each other and give each other strength. This is a pivotal moment in American history. What we do now will not only impact our lives, but the lives of our kids and future generations. In terms of climate change, it will determine the well-being of the entire planet. Now is not the time for despair. It’s not the time to hide under the covers. It’s the time to organize and fight back. Together, we can and will win. In Solidarity, Bernie" by HatetheSwamp on March 23, 2025 3:32 pm There's no doubt that the Bernie gang is in the lead in defining what the Dem Party will be when it gets its feet under it anew. But, here's a hot tip from ole pb: Keep your eyes on Wes Moore from Maryland. Bernie and AOC hang out with and appeal to you waaaaaaay lefties. Moore was on Fox News Sunday... AGAIN... today. He speaks the language of your "low-information," my moderate and independent common sense, voters. One way or t'other, it'll be fun to watch from over here. by Navy2711 on March 23, 2025 3:40 pm The Dems need new leadership. The worse things get, the faster Schumer and Pelosi get the boot. Not sure what it is about the Democratic Party that repels people with backbones. by Ponderer on March 23, 2025 3:47 pm AOC gots plenty-o-backbone. There are a few of the younger ones that show a lot of promise. by Donna on March 23, 2025 3:52 pm I think the problem is just old thinking, Navy. The Dems needed to change and are changing. The old guard is on its way out. And Wes Moore is part of the change we're seeing. I like him a lot. If a re-election were held now, I think that Bernie would win. Easily. Bernie is demonstrating that even if you're even too old to be a boomer, that doesn't matter if you look and act 20 years younger. It's hard to believe that he's 83. by oldedude on March 23, 2025 3:53 pm The dims need more than the SOS they've been putting out, that the working class hates. They haven't been willing to switch up on DEI and 76 different genders (and God forbid you call someone a different "gender" than they prefer that day!). Also the violence the dims have taken over. If you're Jewish, you'll get beat up. If you're wearing a red cap (even though it's a cardinals cap). If you're a working class black that wants a job, you're an "uncle Tom." If you just a plain white person that believes the government should be out of your house and not looking at your private life, you're a Nazi. If you believe you should be told what your child is being taught in school, you're a terrorist (no matter what the law says). Until then, the working class is trumpsters and common sense. by Donna on March 23, 2025 3:56 pm Bernie hasn't been beaten up. by HatetheSwamp on March 23, 2025 4:11 pm "If a re-election were held now, I think that Bernie would win." In a General Election? by Donna on March 23, 2025 5:32 pm Absolutely! by oldedude on March 23, 2025 8:50 pm Right now, you think you can actually "win" any general election in the US system? (not state) I'm sorry, if you do, you're a moron, or a cretin. one of the two... And for you especially, you're not stupid. by HatetheSwamp on March 24, 2025 3:18 am Donna, I think your heart, not your brain, is in charge over Bernie. Moderate and independent common sense voters ain't Bernie Bros. Extreme lefties love Bernie. Beyond that Go To Top
